TLANTA 


Atlanta  is  on  the  crest  of  the  ridge  that  divides  the 
watershed  of  the  Atlantic  from  that  of  the  Gulf,  and  an  altitude 
of  1,050  feet  above  sea  level  gives  the  city  a  bracing  atmos¬ 
phere,  which  is  conducive  to  vigor  of  body  and  mind.  The 
people  are  remarkably  energetic,  and  this  is  evident  to  the 
visitor  in  the  first  glance  that  he  gets  from  the  car  windows. 
Their  vigor  has  made  Atlanta  a  leader  among  cities. 

Atlanta’s  newspapers  are  easily  the  first  in  the  South,  and 
the  lawyers,  ministers  and  professional  men  rank  high  among 
their  fellows.  Naturally,  the  city  is  a  center  of  progress  and 
development. 

A  great  many  people  have  the  impression  that  Atlanta  is 
art  of  the  South,  and  it  is  frequently  compared  to  Chicago  or

New  York.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  about  95  per  cent,  of  its  people  were  born  in  the 
Southern  States. 

There  are  within  the  city  limits  130,000  people,  and  with  the  suburbs  the  commu¬ 
nity  has  160,000.  The  population  of  those  engaged  in  gainful  occupations  is  very  large 
and  the  steady  industry  of  the  population  is  a  guaranty  of  continued  prosperity. 

The  interest  which  attaches  to  Atlanta's  past  has  drawn  to  the  city  thousands  of  men 

who  helped  to  make  history  here  many  years  ago.  This  constant  visitation  has  caused 

Atlanta  to  be  talked  about  as  no  other  Southern  city  has  been  during  the  life  of  this 
generation. 

Another  attraction  is  the  magical  growth  which  has  never  halted  and  never  been 
fully  explained,  but  seems  to  have  in  it  something  distinctive  and  different  from  the  rise 
of  any  other  community.  There  is  an  indescribable  something  about  the  city  which  im¬ 
presses  every  stranger  and  fills  the  mind  of  the  citizen  with  enthusiasm 

A  distinguished  visitor  at  the  Atlanta  Exposition  declared  that  the  region  surround¬ 
ing  is  city  is  the  most  American  part  of  America.  The  masterful  spirit  of  the  Anglo- 
£  aX°n  13  manifest  here  in  the  magnificent  reconstruction  of  a  city  that  was  burned  to  the

ground  forty-four  years  ago.  In  the  surrounding  country  the  rising  tide  of  industry  has 
overflowed  and  obliterated  the  scars  of  war.  General  Sherman’s  army  destroyed  a  hun¬ 
dred  millions  of  property  on  its  march  through  Georgia,  and  it  took  many  years  to  make 
good  the  loss,  out  now  the  State  produces,  in  one  year,  enough  cotton  and  cotton  goods 
to  pay  the  enormous  indemnity  of  that  campaign. 

General  Sherman  was  impressed  with  Atlanta’s  strategic  importance,  and  pointed 
out  that  any  port  of  the  Gulf  or  the  South  Atlantic  could  be  reached  from  here  in  twelve 
hours.  The  city  became  headquarters  for  the  Department  of  the  Gulf  during  the  Spanish 
war,  and  an  effort  was  afterwards  made  to  remove  these  headquarters  to  another  point, 
but  the  government,  profiting  by  that  experience,  has  finally  fixed  their  seat  here. 

The  topographic  conditions  which  gave  Atlanta  its  importance  in  war  have  made 
it  the  railway  and  commercial  center  of  the  Southeast. 

Atlanta  stands  at  a  point  where  the  Eastern  traffic,  flowing  down  the  Apalachian 
chain,  meets  in  confluence  the  great  stream  of  commerce  from  the  West  to  the  Southern 
Seaboard.  The  vast  traffic  of  East  and  West  which  flows  into  Atlanta  radiates  through 
the  Southeast.  Thus,  from  a  railway  point  of  view,  Atlanta  holds  a  commanding  position

and  has  become  the  headquarters  for  a  large  part  of  the  railroad  business  done  in  the 
Southwestern  States. 

As  the  metropolis  of  the  Piedmont  region,  Atlanta'  will  profit  by  the  great  stimulus  to 
trade  and  industry  which  will  come  from  the  opening  of  the  Panama  canal.  There  are 
already  large  exports  of  cotton  goods  to  China  from  Georgia  and  the  Carolinas,  and  this

From  CinMiiy,1  Tfyfer  otlS?el  fr’oWittit?  WcmH  Xvist,  the 

shortest  practicable  j  j^|Q  Louisville  and 

Nashville  Railway  has  spent  many  millions  in  building  a  new^rrunk  line  between  these 


Ittinois  Urbana-€hafnpa:ign''lAlternates 

of  Georgia  and  other  systems  are  connecting  up  their  trunk  lines 


through  Atlanta  to  the  Atlantic,  the  Mississippi,  and  the  Gulf,  and  this  city  is  on  the 
great  highway  of  American  goods  moving  southward  to  the  sea. 


In  the  anticipation  of  the  immense  growth  of  business,  the  railroad  companies  are 
spending  millions  of  dollars  to  enlarge  their  terminal  facilities  in  and  around  Atlanta.

lines,  and  large  extensions  of  freight  terminals  are  being  made  by  the  Southern  and  the 
Louisville  and  Nashville  systems.  The  Atlanta,  Birmingham  and  Atlantic  is  constructing 
extensive  terminals  and  the  first  passenger  train  recently  entered  the  city. 

The  system  of  local  transit,  covering  161  miles  of  electric  railway,  is  one  of  the  best 
in  the  country,  and  is  probably  the  most  extensive  for  a  city  of  Atlanta’s  size.  This  has 
caused  a  rapid  extension  of  the  residence  district  and  beautiful  homes  have  been,  erected 
several  miles  beyond  the  city  limits  in  several  directions.  There  is  an  inter-urban  line 
from  Atlanta  to  Marietta,  20  miles  out,  and  others  are  to  be  built  to  Macon  and  Augusta. 

Atlanta  is  the  most  accessible  city  in  the  South,  and  for  this  reason  the  stream  of 
travel  is  constantly  increasing.  I  here  are  seventy-nine  towns  of  4,000  population  and 
upward  in  Georgia,  the  Carolinas,  Alabama  and  Mississippi.  The  average  distance  of 
these  towns  from  Atlanta  is  28 1  miles,  which  is  80  to  170  miles  less  than  the  distance  from 
nearest  important  centers. 

Atlanta  is  Southern  headquarters  for  most  of  the  great  national  corporations  that  do 
business  in  this  section.  It  is  the  third  insurance  center  of  the  country  and  easily  the 
first  in  the  South.  Railways,  telegraphs,  telephones  and  many  such  interests  have  here 
their  headquarters  for  from  five  to  twelve  States.

Steel  and  stone  skyscrapers  have  shot  up  in  rapid  succession  and  the  heart  of  the 
city  looks  like  the  lower  part  of  Manhattan  Island.  There  is  no  other  city  in  the  South 
that  has  the  metropolitan  appearance  Atlanta  presents.  It  has  one  square  mile  that  can 
hardly  be  equalled  anywhere  on  this  continent  outside  of  New  York,  Chicago  and 
Philadelphia. 

The  growth  of  the  city  is  by  no  means  confined  to  office  buildings.  The  manu¬ 
factured  products  of  Fulton  county,  including  Atlanta,  increased  from  fifteen  to  thirty  mil¬ 
lions  from  1900  to  1905  and  are  now  forty  millions.  There  are  nearly  twice  as  many 
wage-workers  and  the  city  is  constantly  crowded  with  well-to-do  strangers  who  have  come 
to  engage  in  business.  The  banks  are  loaded  with  deposits  and  one  member  of  the 
Clearing  House  has  as  much  as  all  six  of  them  had  ten  years  ago.  Atlanta’s  importance  as 
a  business  center  is  indicated  by  the  fact  that  Georgia  produces  a  cotton  crop  worth  one 
hundred  millions,  or  more  than  the  gold  product  of  the  entire  country.  The  States 
making  up  the  Southeastern  group,  of  which  Atlanta  is  the  natural  center,  produce  a  cot¬ 
ton  crop  worth  about  three  hundred  millions,  and  turn  out  cotton  goods  worth  one  hun¬ 
dred  and  fifty  millions.  The  total  manufactured  product  of  these  States  is  600  millions. 


The  supply  business  for  all  this  vast  industry  is  immense,  and  Atlanta  gets  a  large  share 
of  it. 

A  strong  feature  of  Atlanta’s  industry  is  its  variety.  The  people  are  hospitable  to 
new  ideas  and  not  fastened  in  old  grooves.  Home  industries  are  well  patronized,  and 
the  percentage  of  success  in  new  industries  is  very  high. 

The  activity  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  has  had  a  happy  effect  upon  the  spirit  of 

unity  and  co-operation  among  business  men.  A  custom  of  frequent  meetings  to  talk  over 

matters  of  general  welfare  or  mutual  concern  has  developed  the  business  men  of  this  city 

in  a  remarkable  way.  The  Chamber  of  Commerce  has  on  commercial  Atlanta  very  much 

the  same  influence  which  the  New  England  town  meeting  had  on  the  sturdy  pioneers  in 

the  land  of  steady  habits.  This  influence  is  educational  along  the  line  of  robust  self- 

government  and  co-operation,  and  in  the  midst  of  the  contact  of  minds  a  suburb  spirit  of 
civic  pride  is  generated. 

Atlanta  is  a  clean,  well-governed  city.  The  tax  rate  is  only  1$  per  cent,  on  a 
moderate  valuation  of  property,  which  aggregates  $92,000,000.  The  United  States  cen¬ 
sus  credits  Atlanta  with  the  lowest  tax  rate,  with  two  exceptions,  on  actual  value  to  be

found  in  the  South,  among  cities  of  over  100,000  population.  While  the  nominal  rate  is 
1.25  it  amounts  to  only  .75  on  real  value.  The  bonded  debt  of  $3,495,500  is  less  than 
the  constitution  limit  by  over  two  millions.  It  is  covered  by  a  sinking  fund  which  provides 
for  the  payment  of  all  bonds  within  30  years  from  the  date  of  issue. 

The  fire,  police,  sanitary  and  other  departments  are  economically  administered  and 
ably  managed,  by  efficient  chiefs,  with  the  support  of  able  boards  of  business  men. 

The  city  is  divided  into  eight  wards,  each  represented  by  one  alderman  and  two 
councilmen.  On  all  appropriations  a  majority  of  the  aldermanic  board  and  the  council  in 
separate  sessions  must  be  given. 

The  water  supply  is  taken  from  the  Chattahoochee  River,  clarified  in  a  settling  basin 
and  filtered  before  being  pumped  into  the  city.  The  rate  to  residents  is  60  cents  a 

month  for  each  house,  and  for  manufacturers  6  cents  per  thousand  gallons  in  large 
quantity. 

Electric  power  for  varied  industries  is  available  in  and  around  Atlanta  through  the 
development  of  a  large  water  power  on  the  Chattahoochee  River,  18  miles  from  the  city, 
at  Morgan  Falls,  where  a  massive  masonry  and  concrete  dam  has  been  built  by  the

Atlanta  Water  and  Electric  Power  Co.,  and  machinery  has  been  installed  for  the  develop¬ 
ment  of  water  power  and  its  transformation  into  electric  current,  which  is  transmitted  to 
Atlanta.  Part  of  it  is  used  by  the  Georgia  Railway  and  Electric  Company,  and  the  re¬ 
mainder  is  distributed  to  manufacturers  by  the  same  concern. 

Atlanta  is  the  greatest  publication  center  in  the  South.  The  records  at  the  Post 
Office  Department  show  that  the  various  publications  pay  the  Government  more  on 
second-class  matter  than  it  receives  from  Baltimore,  Louisville,  New  Orleans,  San  Fran¬ 
cisco  or  Pittsburg.  In  other  respects  the  records  of  the  post-office  show  a  remarkable 
growth.  The  difference  between  postal  orders  issued  and  those  paid  in  Atlanta  leaves  a 
balance  of  about  $1,750,000  in  the  city’s  favor.  This  is  evidence  of  a  thrifty  mail-order 
business,  which  has  sprung  up  in  the  past  few  years  and  is  yet  in  its  infancy.  A  great 
factor  in  the  upbuilding  of  the  city  is  its  civic  pride.  However  they  may  be  divided  on 
all  other  questions,  the  people  are  a  unit  on  everything  that  affects  the  prosperity  of  the 
city.  This  sentiment  is  so  pronounced  that  it  was  long  ago  emphasized  by  the  name 
“Atlanta  Spirit,”  and  the  appeal  to  this  spirit  is  never  in  vain. 


THE  KIMBALL 
HOUSE 


In  some  respects  this  city  is  the  most  important  educational  center  of  the  South 
About  15,000  pupils  are  enrolled  in  the  public  schools  and  6,000  students  entered  in 
institutions  of  higher  education.  The  finest  polytechnic  institution  in  the  South  is  the 
Georgia  “Tech."  and  its  graduates  hold  important  positions  all  over  the  world.  There  are 
170  churches,  four  theatres,  several  libraries,  numerous  parks  and  many  beautiful  residence 
streets.  Green  grass,  spacious  lawns  and  shade  trees  which  arch  the  street  in  many 
places,  are  features  which  add  much  to  the  charm  of  Atlanta’s  homes. 

Atlanta  has  for  many  years  been  known  as  the  Convention  City  of  the  South,  and 
the  city  has  some  of  the  best  hotels  in  the  United  States.  The  Piedmont,  Kimball 
and  Aragon  all  entertained  Presidents  of  the  United  States,  and  the  Majestic  and  Marion 
are  well  known. 

The  city  has  provided  $250,000  to  build  an  Auditorium-Armory  on  a  lot  200  by  300 
with  a  seating  capacity  of  8,500  and  a  smaller  hall  for  ordinary  occasions,  also  quarters 
for  the  Fifth  Regiment,  the  Governor’s  Horse  Guards  and  Governor’s  Light  Artillery.  The 
building  is  under  construction.  ' 


THE 

M AJ  ESTIC 


THE 

A  R  AGON 


The  expression  “Atlanta  air  is  like  champagne,”  sprang  from  the  brain  of  a  local  en 
thusiast  who  has  never  tasted  that  beverage,  but  the  revelation  is  never-the-less  inspired, 
and  many  there  be  who  will  attest  its  truth. 

Atlanta  has  long  been  noted  for  its  delightful  climate,  and  the  city  has  become  a 
great  resort  for  tourists  and  health-seekers.  It  is  hard  for  people  from  higher  latitudes  to 
realize  that  Atlanta  is  a  summer  resort,  cooler  by  far  than  the  average  American  city. 
There  are  summers  here  as  elsewhere,  but  not  long  ones,  and  the  nights  are  almost  al¬ 
ways  cool  and  breezy.  Very  few  even  of  the  days  are  uncomfortably  warm. 

The  suburbs,  so  easily  accessible  in  every  direction  by  rapid  transit,  are  pictures  of 
restfulness  and  refreshment.  There  are  golf  links,  beautiful  drives,  lakes  and  beautiful 
country  clubs,  known  as  the  Piedmont  Driving  Club,  and  the  Athletic  Club.
